Situated on a N facing slope of Reenbeg Peninsula, overlooking Dingle Harbour, this souterrain is no longer accessible. Its precise location is at the WNW extremity of a triangular tract of rough ground delimited to S by a V-shaped kink in an E-W field wall and to N by a natural rocky ledge. Portion of the monument is visible through a low gap beneath the westernmost surviving roof slab. A passage, 1.75m long, c. 0.4m wide and .5m high, extends E from the opening. It is roofed by a series of flat lintels which rest directly on the upright slabs which form the side walls. A low creepway, the same width as the passage, extends E from the base of the drystone-built E end wall but its length could not be determined.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 751. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
